Hi,

I have had several projects where I need to make fine adjustments to the size of the text such as matching a corporate logo. The standard settings on PD 9 only allow for a limited range of sizing. For instance the text size goes from 28 to 36 with nothing in between. The text spacing goes from 0 to 5, again with nothing in between. I wonder if there is any way of stretching and manipulating the text box. It seems that it can only be swivelled or moved around but not stretched in any way. Is there a trick I am missing?

Thanks
ian

Have you simply tried to type in the values that you want? .

Hi Ianvee,

stevek nailed it in his reply to you.
The default font sizes can indeed be modified in single increments just as stevek described.
Also, in case you're unaware, after you type in a new size value of for instance... 31, remember that you must then hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard, in order to complete your size modification command.

(FYI: The maximum font size available in PD9 is "127".)

Thanks to both of you. Yes I had tried typing in the value, but had not then tapped the old ENTER key.
Sometimes the simplest thing is easily missed. Much appreciated.
